One Random Saturday!

We went down to Provo to visit Uncle Skyler and to just hang out. Went to University Mall and let Logan run through the Dino play area, roll the huge marble world and get a bit wet. We had dinner at one of our favorite places Carabba's Italian Grill ( I worked at Carabbas in Arizona) I love the Insalata Fiorucci-roasted red peppers, artichokes hearts, eggplant, hazelnut goat cheese medallion so many tastes at one time it makes my mouth water-its that good! The chicken trio is Paul's fav sometimes you have to ask for it because its not on the menu.

Seattle Trip

The view from the apartment we rented was fantastic.

Porter all bundled up!

We went to Seattle to hang out with Aunt Meg!!! Thanks for showing us around we loved it and will be back soon.

We journeyed up to Forks that's right Twilight's birthplace. I ran into this cute high school couple (Bella & Edward) at the market and we bought the dudes authentic Forks Spartan sweatshirt off him. All other souvenir shops were closed and there wasn't a place to stay within a 200 mile radius so we were so sad to return to Seattle. We had a blast while we were there it was foggy and started raining of course! The whole town went Twilight the motel's sign read "Edward Cullen did not sleep here" the markets sign said "Bella shops here" and the local restaurants have food items that are dedicated to the characters. The town even donated a house for tourists to walk through that looks like Bellas and they have her truck.

Baby Shower

Trick to throwing 2 parties in 1 week= same theme!!! I so cheated.

Carrie & I made berry jam for the favors.

We had chili, potato bar, rolls and cowboy ice cream sandwiches.

We were thrilled Tyson made an appearance.

Porter in his get-up!

Allison got some great things for Tyson!

Blue & Gold Banquet

As my sister says.."the party starts with the invite!!!"

It folded down on itself and had an insert for Parent and Scout assignments. And a shout out to Cheryl (Paul's mom who owns her own printing company) who supplied me with all the materials free of charge.

I am on the committee for the cub scouts at church (over special events aka party planner-yeah for me!) This years theme was the American A, B, C's so I decided to go with the idea of a Round Up Theme. And mention many places in the U.S. that start with different letters. The planning all started with the invite and fabric and then I was off to the races. Think denim, burlap and handkerchiefs.

Planning for cub scouts rather than Enrichment was kind of hard but my friend Sara kept reminding me "its okay its Scouts you don't have to iron the tablecloths or eat on real dishes." She brought me to my senses and it turned out quite fun.

We had 5 different chilies, baked potatoes, side dishes and yummy American Desserts (apple pie, cobbler etc.)

I had one display of locations the scouts had been along with their pictures and souvenirs.
I thought it went well almost 80 people came.

One Happy Baby!

The tongue is always out now...so he gets everything wet.

Gym Class

Megan one of our babysitters teaches as Bailey's Gymnastics so we thought it was time Logan should try it out. This was his first class and he loved it! I would love for him to have a buddy in the class so let me know-Mondays at 4pm.

This is a video showing Logan doing their routine for the day.

Little Drummer Boy

Too funny how he has so many toys but this entertains him just as well.

Jazz Buddies

Daddy and Logan going to the Jazz Game!!! Best Buds.

The secret to get Logan to sit for a long time...buy him a bucket of popcorn.

Superbowl Party

I said I would bring treats:)

Yummy Coconut Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

-those are some hot cheerleaders-

I attempted to make football ice cream sandwiches but the brownies were a bit hard when frozen. Paul helped me by doing the lacings-
